I feel like I end up reading this once a year, usually when I'm trying to write a [python] script that needs to run from a cron script without clobbering its own files if one instance is started before the previous one is finished.

See also my shelfcache Python3 package which provides a thread- and multiprocess-safe key-value caching store on top of the standard library's shelve module: https://github.com/cristoper/shelfcache

Tips for using fzf, ripgrep, and bfs for quickly finding files based on their names/contents.

A weblog about simple, useful software.

Hasn't been updated since 27 July 2016. I hope Jack returns at some point.

I'm a fan of Asciidoc and the Ruby Asciidoctor implementation (it's what I use to markup my weblog posts). I enjoyed this interview with Dan Allen, the main developer behind Asciidoctor.

"Dan share's so much valuable insight into why Asciidoc is the premiere format for writing, regardless of the type of work you do, how the format came to life, some of the tooling available, plus so much more.

If you're just getting in to technical writing, love documenting your code, but want to spend less time doing it, or just want to find a tool chain that demands less of you, but gives you so much more, then grab your favourite beverage, put your feet up, and tune in!"
